I have done plex, and it's EASY, low pressure, and fast! You will get a more uniform "frost" than most of the etched vinyl, but it looks really great.
I did the same thing for a coffee table top for myself. Put some decorative stuff and a chess board on the top...it transformed it completely!
Yes you can sandblast plex, however blasting this size of panels, and getting it a perfectly smooth surface requires lots of time, and consistant air supply.
No you can't get the same look as etched vinyl.
Blasting a logo or letters is much different than large flat panels.

I had ordered quite a few etched plexi sheets from my supplier 10ft x 5ft that i was going to rout as part of the stagefloor for Mamma Mia, they only had clear so I sandblasted both sides, we achieved good results for what they wanted, but as Joe says a logo is much easier to achieve well, rather than uniform coverage.
Here was a couple of pics and yes it was -many degrees and ice on the track in front of my barn!
